SAW-SETTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 14, 1915. Serial No. 39,919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN KAISER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Devils Take, in the county of Ramsey and State o North Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Saw-Setters, of wlrch the following is a specification.

This invention pertains to new and useful' improvements in sav setters and especially to a setter of the double type, and it has for its primary aim to provide a device of the above characte which will operate efliciently and expediiously.

A further object-r asides in the provision of a double sette'r that will perform a saw setting operation b making a straight track on both sides.

The invention further resides in the adjustable mounting of the saw setting means, and the adjustable anvils, both of which adjustable features adapt the invention for setting saws of varying sizes.

Further aims and objects will appear as the description progresses and those features of construction, arrangements and combinations of parts on which protection is desired will be succinctly claimed hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the preferred embodiment of the invention and wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views: Figure 1 is a side elevation of saw set embodying the present improvements; Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof; Fig. 3 discloses the same in top plan; Fig. 4 is a vertical section on line 4-4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a vertical transverse Section taken about on lilie 5-5 of Fig. 4:; Fi 6 and 7 are perspectives of the two anvil plates; and Fig.2 is a horizontal section along line 88 of'Fig. 1.

The invention comprises a body 1 of U sectionin the ends of which are arranged saw straighteners or bushings 2, preferably of copper and formed with alined sa'W-rer ceiving slots 3, thaopposing ends of the bushings being shape 'on a bias to form, in conjunction with thesides of the body, dovetailed grooves in which the anvil plates 1 and 5 are .slidably disposed. The inner faces of the anvil plates'aline with the walls of slots 3 and thereby form areceiving slot in the body 1 by which the 17 and 18 are adapted to press the saw be moved vertically, long saw-.

saw is maintained straight or in a flat conditlon during a setting operation.

The yieldably separated handles 6 are formed with angularly disposed journal portions 7 which operate and are secured between the depending ears 8 of body 1 by pivot pin 9. Extending upwardly from the free end of each horizontal portion 7, and on the opposite side of the body, is anangular arm 10 terminating in a horizontal portion 11.

- The anvil plates are formed with openings 12 and 13, the latter being elongated and horizontally formed, while each opening registers with a corresponding opening 14, 15 formed in the walls of the body. Operable in the openings 12,13, 14 and 15 are setter pins 16 and 17 the former being fixed to one of the horizontal arm portions 11 while the latter, which operates in openings 13, is adjustable longitudinally on the other arm portion 11. The pin 17 is formed with a shank 18 slidable in the slot 19 of the arm portion or extension 11 and an apertured head 20 which has threaded engagement with a screw member 21, the latter .being journaled in spaced ears 22 of said arm extension. Thus, screw 21, the setter pin 17 is advanced toward or retracted from the cooperating pin 16, the slots 13 and 15 accommodating for such adjustability. I

Each anvil plate is formed on its lower part with a face 23 of slight inclination and an adjoining face 24 of greater inclination which faces may be adjusted vertically from or toward the setter pins. The setting pins teeth against the setting faces 23 for setting the saw, the anvil faces 21 providing clearance for such operation. The mechanism for accomplishi'ng this adjustability-of the anvil plates comprises a p ate 25 having spaced parallel arms 26 of right angular formation straddling the body 1' and guidingthe plate for sliding movement. The anvil plates are secured to the terminals of arms 26 by screws 27 which operate in vertical'slots 28 of the body. on sliding the anvil plate adjusting member 25, the plates 4. and 5 will accordingly the openings 12 and 13 movement as shownin upon rotating the accommodating such Fig. 5.

It will therefore be noted that The outer one ofthe ears 8' is forni'edwith I a lateralbearing or support-29 which underlies the plate 25. These superposed members are formed with alined journals in which is f rotatably mounted an adjusting stem 30 the 1 J upper endof which carries-alug 31 adapted the'cam portion of the plate body, and saw for coactionwith-rthe encircling cam portion citited Witl 1 -a dial 235 and-limited in its -movem'ent by a stop pin 36 whereby the stein-may not'be completely rotated.
